after election year for 40 years, getting that done is a very big deal. americans want that. they've got to implement it. they've got to figure out directions to make this thing work, but getting it passed and moving is a big deal. failures, for me, you know, i'm an old political hand so it's hard for me not to look at the politics of this. but i feel like the president did a really good job substantively while not doing the bhes job politically. i think the style of how they operated as a white house -- i used to always say, it was like the presidency is the fastest, best ferrari there is and they drove it like a chrysler k car. you know, they didn't use the power of the office to really attract people, to paint vivid pictures and to get things done. i want to see more of that. in a long-term issue, i think the president ought to be focused on american competitiveness, to broaden opportunity so we can all participate in a growing km i. >> margaret hoover, i had a checklist of what i believe to be the five biggest challenges h effaces. reforming immigrati
